AN uHcRATEEUL NORWEGIAN.
He Complains That a Life-Saving
Crew Were Cowardly.

BosToN, April 6.-John Olsen, Norwe-
gian. who was seaman on the schooner ].
II. Eels Of Rockport, Me-, which was
wrecked some three weeks ago about q
miles off Nanset Light, on Cape Cod, tells a
story that casts serious reflection upon the
llfe-saylng crew at the scene of the wreck
There were four of them on the stranded
schooner, and he claims that the life-saving
crew came within so feet of them and then
returned to the shore. Olsen says the sea
was comparatively smooth then, and there is
no good reason why all four of the men Were
not saved. The men clung to the rigging all
day, and could see the life-saving crew
standing on the shore, but making no at
tempt to rescue them. By the next morning
two of the men had died. Olsen says the
life boat only came out once, and then GER
talnly was near enough to throw a line If it
couldn't reach the vessel. The men at the
the wreck Several times, but Olsen denies
this, and says they attempted it but once.
Then they claimed that the boat was full of
water and had to be put about on account of
the heavy sea. Olsen saws they were only
about AGO yards from the shore, and that he
and his companions might have been rescued
IN two hours ii the life-saving men had had
any pluck. 1t is known by the records that
when the vessel was wrecked the sea was
running very high, and Olsen himself said
that 1t was breaking over the vessel and the
men were forced to take to the rigging. The
assistant Inspector of the life-saving stations
has been investigating the matter, and said
that everything possible was done. and that
the sailors could not have been rescued by
the life crew. The matter will be further in-
VeStigated.

RAILROAD PASSES.
Managers of campmeetlngs and

The following railroad circular has just
been issued:
At meeting Of the representatives Of

ton and Maine Railroad, Boston and Lowell

continued. Passes now out need not be reca He'd.

6angor's Railroad People Decide to
Build the Penobscot Central.
lspeclaI to the PRrss.l

BANGOR, April 6.--The Bangor & Piscata-
quis has decided to undertake the work of
commencing the Penobscot Central railroad.
An adjourned meeting of the officers of the
former road was held here today After the
report of the committee appointed at the
last meeting was piven, it was unanimously
voted that this company accepts the provis-
ions of IAN act to amend chap. 120 of the
private and special laws of 1872, entitled an
act to incorporate the Penobscot Central
Railroad Company, as amended by chap. 416
OF the private and special laws of 1878, and
to extend the time for building said road"
passed at the recent session of the legsla-
ture. The directors are therefore, instructed
to cause survey to be made and the line To-
Gated prior to June 1st next as provided in
the act. 1t was voted to authorize the di-
rectors to cooperate in all efforts of the
towns along the line of the proposed rail
road, and Of the citizens of such towns, and
of the city of Bangor, to secure either by
building as a part of the Bangor & Piscata-
quis railroad or by the lease of the Penob-
scot Central railroad, the speedy construc-
tion Of a railroad line from Milo Junction to
the city of Bangor.
By taking this action the Bangor & Piscat-
aquis management are guarding against the
competition which might result should the
Penobscot Central line be completed by out
side parties. The Bangor & Piseataquis is
the only line from Bangor to Moosehead
Lake and the proposed line of the Interna-
tional or Megantic. But there is line al
ready from Katahdin Iron Works to Milo, on
the Bangor & Piscataquis, and this line will
be crossed by the Megantic this side of the
Iron Works. So, if the line of the Penob-
scot Central, from Bangor to Milo, is'com-
peted, it will give short line from Bangor
to the Megantic, wholly independent of the
Bangor q Piscataquis. The Penobscot Cen
tral people got their charter this winter on
the condition that the Bangor & Piscataquis
might within certain time step in and

over the items indicated we perceive that
Jealousy arises somewhere. A thousand
times better repeal the quoted law More or
less than thirty years ago the Legislature
should have provided for the establishment
and maintenance Of an institution for in
structing the deaf and dumb within the
State. Last winter, we, with other mute
graduates, sent in petition praying the leg
islature to see to the absolute necessity Of
the undertaking. Can the State not buy
about hundred acres of land and put up
buildings thereon to gather and place the
children under one roof? Good teachers
will come. There should be a good farmer
ON the farm, to raise crops to supply the
needs Of the Institution, besides teaching the
pupils the mysteries of agriculture when out
OF school. The State should admit all who
need education, refusing no one. Conse-
quently the number of attendants per year
would reach one hundred or more, and no
mistake. Many parents are hiding their

Whitney of the Washingtons, says that

year.
1t is predicted by those who have seen
him that Duffy, who caught Monday, will be
as good catcher as 0'Rourke was last
year.
Burns pitched Tuesday. 1t is not to be
wondered at that he was batted hard as it
was his first game ON a league club, and with
the thermometer below zero he pitched wild,
gave men their bases on balls and hit the
batsmen, losing all control of the ball.
1t is gratifying to his many friends to see
that Shoeneck Is starting out with the vim
that characterized his playing last season.
In Mondays game he got in two-base hit
and accepted fourteen out of fifteen chances
Tuesday he made one of the three hits and
had eight put outs and one assist with no err
